Computer simulation of the coupling between nutrient transport and uptake in the small intestine.

Computer simulation of the coupling between the transport of nutrients in the small intestine by muscle-induced macroscale eddying generated, microscale nutrient mixing by moving villi, and uptake at the epithelium, using a multiscale lattice-Boltzmann numerical algorithm. The inset shows the coupled macro-micro coupled lattice.
